    All four of the door handles on my truck are breaking off; even though gmc has knowledge of the problem they refuse to replace the door handles, because my truck is out of warranty. It's a well known problem, you can even google a search for this matter and see other consumers that have the same problem. It's a safety problem, if someone, in need of help, is unconscious in a vehicle with the same broken door handle…

    The top section of the dashboard has multiple cracks including areas directly behind the instrument cluster and around the passenger side airbags. The airbag section is the most troubling, as it would appear the broken sections could become airborne at a high rate of velocity in the event of an airbag deployment.

    After i got a recall letter in regard to the air bags, i decided to look at my dash just as a visual inspection. I have a dash cover to protect it from the heat.

Very disappointed since i take care of this vehicle and i don't apply any solvents on the dash. Mostly soap and water then if any a water based…
